Without strings (Tanka)

" This is my command: Love each other. "
NIV John 15:17

Love cannot be owned
True Love must be given free
A cherished free gift
Or how can Love be returned
As another cherished gift?

Without strings.

True love is indeed a wonderful gift, Newell...but it doesn't always come to us wrapped in fancy paper...in fact, we often don't recognize it immediately.
Thanks for sharing this one.

You are so right, Lyra! Love is spiritual and can come in any package.
